It's January 6, and Damian Lillard sits in the corner of thevisitor's locker room.

He's absorbing the questions that are being tossed his wayconcerning another tough loss, toeing the line between urgency andunderstanding; it's not a lack of effort, he says, but maybe toomucheffort and desire leading to pressing at thewrong times.

The result is the result: A 108-99 loss to the Indiana Pacersheadlined by poor shooting. Lillard wasn't himself, dropping just19 points on 7-for-24 shooting (6-for-16 from two, 1-for-8 fromthree). As a whole, the Portland Trail Blazers scored a paltry 17points in the fourth quarter. They missed their last 13 field goalattempts in the game.

"You're not gonna win if you can't make a field goal," Lillardsays, matter-of-factly.
